Any idea when the booster will be available for the tempest up here in Vancouver bc fall winter very little sunlight this time of year at least on the weather flow system you can remove the panel and run battery threw the winter months I here there is a booster in the works any one here anymore abou…

Here we are in November in the PNW again and my station has just started going offline due to insufficient light. Last I heard from Tim, in March, they were getting ready to field test a prototype and hoped they would have something available by spring. I just pinged him again and will update here i…

Bit hard to tell. The final design was made a few weeks back and is in small testing but the real problem and challenge is to start mass produce them. As you have read/heard there are many shortages worldwide on many items and this design includes a few components having huge lead time. Logistics is…

For those of us that live in the dark PNW there are no options for changing locations to get more sun light. Has any one created a hardware workaround? Maybe dummy battery inside that has wire leads to a bigger outside battery? It’s not even December yet and my station is already going offline reg…

My Station which is almost 12 months old is now stuck at 2.11 volts and my sensors are off-line. I live in Sunny Florida. Today is bright sunshine, but the station is still stuck on 2.11 volts. Do I need a new battery or is something else at play here?

one day of bright sunshine might not be enough. Mine went offline at 2.12V but came back online at 2.31V, so it takes a while to charge. Note however that there isn’t a lot of energy stored in the range just above 2.12 V so it discharges and charges relatively quickly. Lets hope it comes back to li…

Thanks Sunny, I suppose you are right. I have seen low voltages before when we’ve had consecutive cloudy/rainy days, but it has always recovered voltage quickly. Seems to be taking a bit more time to charge. I guess because the Sun is lower in the sky perhaps? Sure with the Booster Charge dev…

your station started to go south October 25th and from there on down the drain. Time to open a support ticket. Customer support will help you out but be patient, won’t be before Thursday I guess. Internal meetings going on so they are a bit low on staff for 2 days.

Hmmm, interesting discussion to read as I specifically asked support about the battery prior to purchase, but I was assured not to be concerned about it. I’d asked because I was surprised that I didn’t see any option for the user/customer to easily access and replace just the battery, nor power the…

I opened a service ticket today for my Tempest issue. My station hasn’t responded in 19 hours, battery is at 211v after a full day of bright sunshine. Hub is on and operating fine. It feels like when the battery voltage dropped, it put the Station in SLEEP mode and now it won’t wake up. This i…
